josh leatham

ADventure mentor

Josh has a huge passion for working with kids and youth and helping them learn how healing being outside with nature can be. As a child, he often found peace from his troubles by walking through the mountains of Utah, and this is where he found a deep love and appreciation for what nature can bring us all. Josh has worked in various industries with youth and kids from after-school programs teaching struggling students to read to guiding teens for weeks on end in the deserts of Utah for wilderness therapy. He grew up in Utah where he was always taught the power of serving one another. Josh has brought this with him through life and has led him to volunteer and help those he can wherever he goes. Josh loves the mission of Hearty Roots and reconnecting kids to their hearts through outdoor-based learning and activities. Life can be tough and sometimes the most healing thing we can do for kids who are struggling is let them be kids and roll around in the dirt. :)
